Colour and texture (in black and white) play an important role in Liz Garnett's work and inspiration is drawn from architecture, shapes and patterns.  Her work is concerned with strong graphic composition.  The majority of her fine art images are abstract or semi-abstract.  Recently, themes have included beaches and the coast in both the UK and France as well as fruit and vegetables.  She is currently focusing on creating vibrant flower images with a strong graphic content.

Liz is keen to experiment with photographic processes.  Recent work includes emulsion lifts, use of infra-red films, black and white, cross processing, photo montage and images on hand-made paper.  Choice of films and format (digital, 35mm, medium and large format) play an important role at the beginning of each new project.  Liz has recently invested in a digital camera for commercial work as well as some landscape photography.

In 2001 Liz created an installation ("dress") using lazertran to fix her photographs to squares of metal to form a dress.  This was for a grant funded exhibition called Living Space.  In addition to this Liz now creates abstract and semi-abstract tapestry portraits which have been designed from her photographs.

Inspiration and influences are drawn from the world around her as well as artists like Andy Warhol, David Hockney and Man Ray.

Some of these are in public and private collections worldwide. They can also be seen in exhibitions.
